Forget Shia LaBeouf, These Are Hollywood's Hottest Bankers

Over the years there's been a fair share of Wall Street movies, but not all of them showcase strapping i-bankers in tailored pinstripe suits.

Barbarians At The Gates - the film based on equity moguls at KKR, for example... Not too many hot bankers in that one.

But there's a ton of films that do comprise a Wall Street stud (or two), so we compiled a list of the bankers, brokers, traders, investment kingpins and imaginary moguls who have blessed the silver screen over the years.

-- Nicholas Van Orton

Film: The Game

Christian Bale as investment banker Patrick Bateman (2000)

"Paul Allen has mistaken me for this dickhead Marcus Halberstram.
